Rhaphidophora tetrasperma 130 mm

This striking Philodendron is sometimes mistaken for the Monstera Deliciosa due to the feniestrations or split leaves. Leaves of younger plants may not yet form the fenestrations that distinguish this species, especially if not given enough bright, indirect light. This plant is happy trailing from a pot or can be trained up a structure or moss covered stake.

Pot: 130mm

Care: Being a tropical plant this Philodendron adapts easily to a life in the home or apartment in a bright place, but the temperature should never fall below 12 degrees. In winter it is even advised to move away from doors and windows. Does not like direct sun that could create black spots on the leaves. loves humidity: it is therefore recommended to humidify the leaves with a sprayer and clean them with a cloth in case of dust or dirt. It should be watered frequently, keeping the soil constantly humid but avoiding stagnation of water. It needs sporadic fertilisation, only 3 to 4 times a year, with fertiliser for green plants diluted in irrigation water.
